Friendship Traffic Jam - Poem by Kathleen J. Shields

Friendships like a two-way street without a passing laneYou can only go so fast and you really can’t complainFriendships like those railroad tracks without a scheduleYou never know when the train will come, and you’re almost out of fuelFriendships like an interstate speeding past the trafficAnd hoping someone won’t cut you off where you might say something graphic.But even though our friendship seems to be so up and downI want you to know a u-turns ahead and we’ll come back around.So pull off the road and put it in park, your taxi’s on its wayI just want you to know that everything’s okay.
